They're a pain in the backside to get out though. Sometimes the screw just keeps spinning and spinning without coming out, and then sometimes I manage to tease it out - no idea how.

Is there a special knack to getting these things out or are they just really badly designed??

A prying tool is what you need to remove them. Although some may break as they get brittle with age.
